Bungie explained that Vertigo is one of the three main sections of combat within the game as they are connected to a series of dog-legged tunnels. Multiplayer game developer Andrew Weldon has shared tat players will have a hard time travelling this map as it is difficult to determine which side of the area will gamers be coming from due to its symmetrical design.

Weldon hinted that they had to break apart the Vertigo map into different areas in order to determine the best course of action for players to be prepared, wherein one side is bathed in sunlight, while the other is cast in shadow with an articial light to lit on in order to see.

The website was able to post several photos of the Vertigo Map in "Destiny: The Taken King." Here are the photos below.
